Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, 78, is refusing to disclose new details about his physical or mental well-being, breaking decades of precedent. Despite past assurances from his physicians about his health, concerns remain about his age and ability to serve as president.
would be the oldest person in US history to be elected president. Yet the 78-year-old Republican nominee refuses to disclose new details about his physical or mental well-being, breaking decades of precedent.After he survived an attempted assassination in July, Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, a staunch supporter who served as his White House physician, wrote a memo describing a gunshot wound to Trump 's right ear.
His campaign has also not disclosed whether Trump has been diagnosed with any diseases or received any mental health care after the assassination attempt. Trump's doctors have long been opaque about his health, such as when his team at the White House initially downplayed the severity of his 2020 hospitalisation for COVID-19.
The campaign of US Vice President Kamala Harris has outspent Republican rival Donald Trump on advertising with Meta platforms. The dynamic is ironic for Trump, who spent years assailing the 81-year-old Biden's age, depicting him as frail and unable to manage the challenges of the presidency. After a disastrous debate performance in June, Biden's fellow Democrats began openly raising similar concerns, ultimately prompting his decision to withdraw from the race and back Harris.
As for his family history, his father had Alzheimer’s disease late in life, one potential risk factor.Trump is a frequent golfer and an engaged host during social functions. He takes questions from the press far more often than Harris. He often speaks for more than 90 minutes at his rallies, standing the entire time and often ignoring the teleprompter.Still, Trump's public appearances are often marked by rambling. He regularly confuses timelines, events and people.
